Saturday, Oct. 20th 2012 10:06 AM

What to do in case of injury to your teeth due to sports.  Sport injuries can sometimes happen when playing the sport you enjoy.   Here are helpful do and don’t when you or someone you knows knocks out a tooth.

Don’t  Touch the tooth root as it can become easily damaged.
Don’t  Put the tooth in water as it can cause the root cells to burst and make it much harder for a dentist to save the tooth.
Don’t  Wipe the tooth off if it is dirty, wiping the tooth may cause more damage.

Dos: If the tooth is dirty you can wash it off with milk.  If possible try gently putting the tooth back into it socket. That is the best way to preserve the tooth.
If you can not put tooth back in it’s socket then put the tooth is a glass of milk.  Milk will help provide nutrients to the cells to help keep them alive.

Do  see a dentist right away.  Time is very important matter in trying to save a knocked out tooth. Delays will only make it hard to save the tooth in question.
Make sure you follow the dentist aftercare instructions.  As the aftercare of saving the tooth is just as important in successful healing.
